Recent molecular phylogenetic studies based on 28S rRNA gene sequences have shown that this species is closely related to members of the genus Lecithochirium Lühe, 1901. This finding is unexpected given that Pulmovermis Coil and Kuntz, 1960 and Lecithochirium are currently classified in different subfamilies of Hemiuridae (Pulmoverminae Sandars, 1961 vs. Lecithochiriinae Lühe, 1901). To investigate this discrepancy, we conducted a comparative morphological study on new specimens of P. cyanovitellosus collected from the same locality as those in our previous research. These new specimens were compared with the paragenophores from our earlier study and with existing descriptions in literatures. This study provides the following new morphological data regarding P. cyanovitellosus: body surface covered with minute scales; massive muscular pads present on both sides of body at level of terminal genitalia; small esophageal pouch and Drüsenmagen present; seminal vesicle connecting to pars prostatica via aglandular duct; small, cylindrical sinus-sac present; ejaculatory vesicle absent; Juel's organ present; metraterm separated from uterus by conspicuous sphincter and connecting to distal end of pars prostatica. Additionally, we assessed the phylogenetic relationships of P. cyanovitellosus using the 28S rRNA gene, the internal transcribed spacer 2 (ITS2), and the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I (COI) gene markers. Phylogenetic analyses based on these markers demonstrated that P. cyanovitellosus clustered with species of Lecithochirium. Based on this molecular evidence, we conclude that Pulmovermis is a junior synonym of the genus Lecithochirium, and propose L. cyanovitellosum (Coil and Kuntz, 1960) Urabe and Sokolov comb. nov. Given the morphological similarities between Pulmovermis and Hydrophitrema Sandars, 1960, we also propose synonymizing the latter with Lecithochirium, and L. giganticum (Sandars, 1960) Urabe and Sokolov comb. nov. and L. pingtanense (Wang, 1980) Urabe and Sokolov comb. nov. are proposed. As a result, Pulmoverminae should be considered a junior synonym of Lecithochiriinae Lühe, 1901.</p>","PeriodicalId":54436,"journal":{"name":"Systematic Parasitology","volume":"102 1","pages":"20"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143069777","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the animals have spread to different continents as alien species, and their numbers are quickly increasing, especially in North America, Europe, and Eastern Asia including Japan. Although nutrias have been suggested to serve as reservoirs for pathogens, including parasites, there have been few reports on this subject. In the present study, we surveyed the gastrointestinal parasites in nutrias living in Japan to better understand their prevalence in nutrias. We collected 72 samples of intestinal contents or feces from nutrias in Osaka and Okayama Prefectures. We found that 49 (68.1 %) samples were positive for Eimeria parasites, and two types of oocysts were identified: ellipsoidal (Type A) and subspherical (Type B) oocysts. In addition, Strongyloides myopotami was detected in 44 samples, and Capillaria spp. and Fasciola spp. were detected in one and three samples, respectively. Based on the morphologies of the detected Eimeria oocysts, Types A and B were identified to be E. coypi and E. fluviatilis, respectively. Phylogenetic analyses after PCR and sequencing targeting the cytochrome c oxidase subunit I gene placed the sequences of E. fluviatilis (Type B) as a cluster between the sequences of Eimeria derived from rodents. The sequences of the three subgenotypes of E. coypi (Type A) were included in the cluster containing the sequences of Eimeria spp. from rodents of multiple species, which is referred to as the Apionodes supercluster, and is separate from other clades. It has been suggested that Eimeria spp. from rodents in this cluster can quickly adapt to infect different hosts. Although further analyses are needed to construct more detailed phylogenetic trees, our results revealed the genetical positions of Eimeria spp. in nutrias.

Notothenia coriiceps was the primary paratenic host of 14 fish hosts reported in the original description. We describe excysted juveniles from the body cavity of the major paratenic host, Notothenia coriiceps Richardson collected off Galindez Island, Argentine Islands, West Antarctica for the first time. The original description was not \"based on material collected from the final hosts (seals) and paratenic hosts (fish)\" as stated since no description of juveniles was given then. Our excysted juveniles were generally smaller than reported adults and many of the other measurements were comparable to those of the adults in the original description. We added many of the incomplete measurements of adults in the original description especially those of the underdeveloped reproductive structures. We compared our morphometric description with the only other one available for juveniles collected from three paratenic fish hosts from Prince Gustav Channel, Antarctica.
